General Election Day 2019

She is the first Tory candidate to stand in Stroud, known as both a marginal and a swing seat, since Neil Carmichael who held onto the constituency for seven years from 2010. Mr Carmichael, who lost the 2017 election as a Tory candidate, has since turned his back on the party and even urged people not to vote for them in this election.

Asked what she will do for Stroud, Mrs Baillie said: "I have six priorities: education, supporting local businesses, improving transport, environmental protection, caring for the most vulnerable and safe & vibrant communities. I have already driven forward a nationally recognised further education campaign, fought for high streets funding and I will ensure our railway stations are fully accessible to all."
